    Do you have admin right on your machine? or you have anti-virus software that can block the installation?

    You don’t need to turn off UAC at all. Just run cmd with administrator rights and run the cab file from it. Your installation will be succeeded.

    Thanks, Myat. This maybe one way. You probably don’t need to use cmd as well.
